The Ecclasian Teaching program is one of the most
respected not only in our local community, but also in the Craft community
as a whole. We have been teaching our structured curriculum for almost
twenty years and are continually updating and improving our classes.

All our courses are presented free of profit with
only a very modest request of funds to cover the costs of the class. The
classes are also provided without regard to the ability to pay, no one
is turned away from our teaching program because of money. Class fees
will vary from class to class depending on the costs of presentation involved.
(Space rental, etc.)

Ecclasia is a lineaged group, and as such offers
community accepted training through the degree system. Our training begins
with the most basic, informational Wicca classes and extends to and beyond
initiation into the Elderhood of third degree.

We are often asked for advice about what would be the best
choice for learning. We offer the article, "Choosing
a Teacher" to answer some of the most common questions.

We are sorry, but Ecclasia does not
offer correspondence or on-line training at this time.

Beginning Wicca Class

Our beginning Wicca class lasts between eight and ten weeks depending
on the class and teacher. It is often called "Wicca 101" in
other traditions. It is presented in an informational style with no pressure
to go beyond the class into more advanced work. As such it is a good starting
point for someone wanting to learn more about the Craft, but unsure of
how involved they wish to become. Also it is a good place for family and
friends to learn ours is not a threatening religion or way of life. The
current fee for the beginning class is $20.00 for the entire class (not
per class). Individuals desiring to attend the advanced class with prior
experience may challenge the beginning class.

the ethics of the Craft and on competent circle presentation. Students
learn through a combination of hands-on exercises, in class discussion,
and home study. Upon completion of the class students may initiate into
our tradition if desired, although course work is not the only prerequisite
for initiation. Current fees for the advanced class is $20.00 per month
(four meetings).

or magickal art.

circles and ritual.

of the innerself. From issues of mental health and well being to dreaming

in their fields of expertise.
